Recycling Day Cindy DeRuyter Bvaecycling Coordinator ~FOR BY: REQUEST The Andover City Council is asked to review the plans being made for Andover's RECYCLING DAY. It is planned for Saturday, June 24, 1989. BACKGROUND Instead of a Clean Up Day, we will be calling this a Recycling Day. Clean up Days are very costly for cities, and they don't promote the concept of recycling. Residents can bring most all recyclables to the Public Works Building area or the City Hall area. The following items will be included: aluminum and steel cans and newsprint. We will need containers for these. Jeff Dusenka of Northern Asphalt Construction was contacted and he will have a pick~up truck with containers for used motor oil. There is no charge to the city for this. The Goodwill truck will be here for pick-up of usable household items. For a fee of $6.00 each, residents can drop- off major appliances here. Goodwill charges $167.00 for the semi- trailer and also includes a person to supervise it. Andy Ronchak from the MPCA was contacted, and he approved of having residents pay $ .70 each to dispose of their waste tires. This is far below the standard tire disposal price. Chuck Laubish from IWS in New York said that residents could take the tires to the old Tonson site. He suggested that we sell tickets for the tires ahead of time at City Hall. We will require proof of residency, except for volunteers. Andover Downtown Center has been contacted to assist with promoting the event. Sandi Peterson said that we may contact businesses there to get donations for a drawing for the recyclers. Two businesses have already offered donations. COUNCIL ACTION MOTION BY TO SECOND BY o o o page 2 The Andover Lions and Lionesses have offered to help with the day. They will also bring their food wagon. Also offering to help is the Five star Lions Women's group. So far only a couple of churches have been contacted. Some church youth groups have been looking for a project to help with. OPTIONS Some issues to resolve: obtaining containers for glass, aluminum and steel cans, and newsprint; Location for drop-offs for everything except tires; Can the City Council, The Fire Department and City Hall employees be asked to help? o CITY OF ANDOVER REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION May 18, 1989 DATE ITEM NO.
